doc.: IEEE /863r0 Submission June WG IEEE mb Project Overview Revision to IEEE Standard Project is to incorporate –accumulated maintenance changes (editorial and technical corrections) into , and –roll up of approved amendments into the standard Project Authorization (4 years) –approved 10 Dec 2008 expires 31 Dec 2012 Slide 3

doc.: IEEE /863r0 Submission June WG IEEE Standards Process – Revision Requirements The Sponsor (IEEE 802) shall initiate revision of a standard –whenever any of the material in the standard (including all amendments, corrigenda, etc.) becomes obsolete or incorrect, or –if three or more amendments to a base standard exist three years after its approval or most recent reaffirmation The Sponsor may initiate revision of a standard –when new material becomes available and normal evaluation of need and feasibility indicates revision is warranted The procedure for revising a standard is the same as for developing a new standard A revision shall encompass the cumulative scope of the project (including all approved amendments and corrigenda) Reference: Slide 4
